Suppose the demand for burrito in a small isolated town is p = 8 - 2Q. There are only two firms, A and B, and each has a marginal cost of 2. Determine the Cournot equilibrium. (hint: using the rule that Marginal Revenue’s slope is always twice as much as the slope of the residual demand curve as long as the residual demand is linear in output)

Can you please write the answer on paper so it's clearer for me reading it. The -2Q part is throwing me off.

PART I: • You live on the outskirts of a small town, and are considering investing in one of three different apple orchards, as a way to supplement your income and help pay for your college tuition. You are presented with the following four scenarios, and must discern the type of good involved in each, as well as the incentives associated with the use of each orchard. • Orchard A: You would be the sole owner of Orchard A. There is a fence around the orchard which restricts access, and you could pick the apples to keep for yourself or to sell to others. The apples would be of very high quality, since you would would wait to pick the apples at their ideal ripeness, and may be willing to invest in fertilizing and trimming the apple trees to promote healthier growth. 1. What type of Orchard is Orchard A? (a) Public Good (b) Private Good (c) Club Good (d) Common-resource Good 1 • Orchard B: Orchard B is managed by a restricted group of owners in a Cooperative. Access to the Cooperative is limited to only 20 members who join and pay dues. Members are free to pick as many apples as they would like at any time, as there are many more apples than the limited number of members would ever want to pick to sell or consume. Non-members are not allowed access to the orchard. 2. What type of Orchard is Orchard B? (a) Public Good (b) Private Good (c) Club Good (d) Common-resource Good • Orchard C: Orchard C is available for anyone in town to access. There are no fences or barriers, and fruit may be picked by anyone at any time. You are free to sell or consume any apples you pick. Due to the unlimited access and large number of patrons, each apple you pick means fewer apples for other citizens to enjoy. The orchard is funded by tax revenue from the city. 3. What type of Orchard is Orchard C? (a) Public Good (b) Private Good (c) Club Good (d) Common-resource Good • Now consider all 3 orchards to answer the following questions: 4. Which Orchard is least likely to have apples left on the trees in the last week of the apple-picking season? (a) Orchard A (b) Orchard B (c) Orchard C (d) All are equally likely 5. If the costs of maintaining an orchard are prohibitively expensive for a single-owner, which orchard may provide a way for you to enjoy the fruits of Orchard ownership while maintaining a sustainable orchard that can produce high-quality fruit for years to come? (a) Orchard A (b) Orchard B (c) Orchard C (d) All are equally likely

The S&H Mercantile in Luther is the only game in town for a number of items and tries valiantly to use only the storage space needed to display items since there is no stock room in the back of the store. One popular item, a 16-ounce can of dehydrated water, takes up 20 square inches of shelf space. The shelf space available for this item measures five feet by four feet. The store manager would like to order a quantity that can fill the shelf space without stacking and without needing to store cans elsewhere in the store. The amount ordered should all be on display once the S&H runs out and ideally would arrive just as the last can is purchased.

A. Suppose the annual demand is 8,000 units and the cost per can is $3 with a holding cost of 10%. What is the required order cost per lot?

B. Drought conditions spike demand during the summer to an annualized rate of 27,000 cans per year and the price rises to $12 per can with a holding cost of 20%. What is the required order cost per lot?

Neve Commercial Bank is the only bank in the town of​ York, Pennsylvania. On a typical​ Friday, an average of 8 customers per hour arrive at the bank to transact business. There is one teller at the​ bank, and the average time required to transact business is 3 minutes. It is assumed that service times may be described by the negative exponential distribution. A single line would be​ used, and the customer at the front of the line would go to the first available bank teller. If a single teller is​ used:

a) The average time in the line? = ______ minutes?.

b) The average number in the line? = _______customers?.

c) The average time in the system? = _____minutes? .

d) The average number in the system? = ______customers?

e) The probability that the bank is empty? = ____?(round your response to two decimal? places).

f) CEO Benjamin Neve is considering adding a second teller? (who would work at the same rate as the? first) to reduce the waiting time for customers. He assumes that this will cut the waiting time in half.

g) If a second teller is? added, the average time a customer spends in the queue? = ____ minutes?

h) If a second teller is? added, the average number of customers in the queue? =??____ customers.

I) If a second teller is? added, the average time a customer spends in the system? = _____minutes

The town of Cypress Creek is preparing to go to war against the American government. To do this, it is building a giant satellite laser! To build the laser, the government of the town will resort to taxation to fund its expenditure. The initial economy of Cypress Creek can be expressed by the following agents:

Consumers, C = 25 + 0.95(Y-T)

Output, Y = 5000

Government expenditures, G = 2000

Taxation, T = 2000

Investors, I = 750-125r

Markets are fully competitive and the equilibrium condition for markets are:

Goods and service market: Y =C + I + G

Financial market: I = S

When it builds the Satellite, government and taxation change to

Government expenditures, G = 4000

Taxation, T = 4000

Hank Scorpio makes another announcement "People of North Haverbrook! We must all work together in this to crush the American Government - I implore you to save you wages! Don't spend!"

(MPC) such that the market clearing interest rate does not change?

n) [2 points] Who will end up paying the burden of this project? (consumers or investors? And by

how much?)

The residents of Seltzer Springs, Michigan, consume bottles of

mineral water according to the demand function D(p) = 1, 000 − p. Here

D(p) is the demand per year for bottles of mineral water if the price per

bottle is p.

The sole distributor of mineral water in Seltzer Springs, Bubble Up,

purchases mineral water at c per bottle from their supplier Perry Air.

Perry Air is the only supplier of mineral water in the area and behaves

as a profit-maximizing monopolist. For simplicity we suppose that it has

zero costs of production.

(a) What is the equilibrium price charged by the distributor Bubble Up?

p∗ = (1,000+c)/2

(b) What is the equilibrium quantity sold by Bubble Up?

D(p∗) = (1,000−c)/2

(c) What is the equilibrium price charged by the producer Perry Air?

c∗ = 500.

(d) What is the equilibrium quantity sold by Perry Air? D(c∗) = 250.

(e) What are the profits of Bubble Up?

πb = (500−250)(750− 500) = 2502.

(f ) What are the profits of Perry Air? πp = 500 · 250.

(g) How much consumer's surplus is generated in this market?

CSe =2502/2.

(h) Suppose that this situation is expected to persist forever and that

the interest rate is expected to be constant at 10% per year. What is the

minimum lump sum payment that Perry Air would need to pay to Bubble

Up to buy it out? 10 × 2502.

(i) Suppose that Perry Air does this. What will be the new price and

quantity for mineral water? p∗ = 500 and D(p∗) = 500.

(j) What are the profits of the new merged firm? πp = 5002.

(k) What is the total amount of consumers' surplus generated? How does

this compare with the previous level of consumers' surplus?

CSi = 5002/2 > CSe.

I dont understand part e - k especially part e where does formula come from please help
